Not seeing those HYs (again, it feels like I've tried every possibliity, but obviously I haven't...)

2:38 am

Lizlin

Hi Matty. Hi all. I have one hy 5 - laughing animal

2:40 am

Lizlin

2 now - a bone - robot ending

2:41 am

Lizlin

Can't see the hy 7

2:43 am

sprite

good morning all

2:43 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs sprite

2:44 am

sprite

hey Liz! What a lovely picture of you and rose! Love it.

2:44 am

Lizlin

:) will email you

2:44 am

Lizlin

Probably in a couple of days!

2:44 am

sprite

please do. I am so excited about the 4 of you meeting!

2:45 am

sprite

sure, whenever suits you, I will be here :D

2:45 am

Lizlin

How are you today?

2:46 am

sprite

not too bad. Bit of a bad day yesterday, since I forgot to take my morning meds and then was away for the whole day :( Stupid. But I slept well and feel better today.

2:46 am

sprite

how are you and your husband?

2:47 am

Lizlin

We're well thanks. Ally's very good.

2:47 am

sprite

that is great to hear.

2:47 am

Lizlin

Sad that your day wasn't so good yesterday.

2:47 am

Lizlin

Auto correct strikes again!

2:48 am

sprite

yeah well, only got myself to blame.

2:48 am

sprite

lol yeah, the magic of the autocorrect

2:49 am

Lizlin

Lol! Ally is my friends son!

2:50 am

sprite

that is why the autocorrect has her name memorized as priority, no doubt, lol

2:51 am

Lizlin

Bobs just remembered I need to email my nephew. Doing finals at uni so need to wish him good luck - not that he needs it.

2:52 am

sprite

of course he does. We all need good luck at final's time!

2:57 am

Lizlin

Back :)

2:57 am

sprite

wb! Say hi to Bob and Ally from me, lololol

2:58 am

Lizlin

I noticed that. Hope it had slipped by unnoticed!

2:58 am

sprite

*giggles* I was laughing here, strike another one for the autocorrect.

2:59 am

Lizlin

Yeah! Me too. Lots of laughter today ;)

2:59 am

sprite

good days, that start or end in laughter

3:03 am

Lizlin

No argument from me on that.

3:04 am

sprite

a fast halfway today

3:05 am

Lizlin

Meant to tell you- enjoying the 5th Nick book more.

3:06 am

sprite

oh wow! I might give them a try after the Rina series. Am at book 18. The one with the blind interpreter.

3:06 am

Lizlin

Yes but now I've slowed right down. Missing 1 x 7 :( the others were easy.

3:06 am

sprite

wow good job! I have only one 7 so far. As usual, lol.

3:10 am

Lizlin

I liked that one with the blind interpreter. Mind you, I like them all. I also like Jonathan's books - have one lined up to read next - The Golem of Hollywood.

3:10 am

Lizlin

Am also re reading the Rina series.

3:10 am

sprite

yeah he is a great writer as well. I love both their books.

3:14 am

grannyrose

cooee... {{hugs}} sprite and {{hugs}} liz girl. xoxox

3:14 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs Rose

3:15 am

sprite

hello my dear rose! You are so beautiful! Loved the picture of you and Liz.

3:15 am

grannyrose

hi ya liz. what have you been up to? how are you both?

3:16 am

Lizlin

We're really well. Great day. Met very good friends for lunch - that went much too fast, then walked and now babble? And you?

3:16 am

Lizlin

Lol sprite!

3:16 am

sprite

'tis the truth!

3:17 am

grannyrose

what a coincidence. i had lunch with some very good friends too. i had the loveliest time.

3:17 am

Lizlin

:)

3:17 am

sprite

nothing like a lunch with such good friends.

3:17 am

Lizlin

Lunch, hugs and laughter. What more could you want?

3:18 am

grannyrose

too true sprite. liz, what a pity we couldn't have been all together..... lol

3:18 am

sprite

not much, that's for sure. And it gives memories that will last for years.

3:18 am

Lizlin

Except an easier grid. Brick wall here - far too many left.

3:18 am

grannyrose

oh we had a few tears too.

3:19 am

sprite

one day, we might. Time for the Big Guy to send us a shipload of dimes...

3:19 am

Lizlin

Them too - but happy ones of course.

3:19 am

sprite

I hear ya, Liz. One of those odd grids where you simply run out of words to try.

3:20 am

Lizlin

That would be soo amazing.

3:21 am

sprite

tears are good. Some things are too beautiful to experience without tears.

3:21 am

Lizlin

And that was deliberate soo

3:21 am

sprite

yeah I thought it was, grin

3:27 am

sprite

mushroom soup with bread and greek meatballs... how does that sound?

3:27 am

grannyrose

so sprite, are you on your own yet? and how was your lunch out with your friend?

3:28 am

Lizlin

Yummy

3:28 am

grannyrose

oh nice sprite.

3:29 am

sprite

Rob and Caya will leave tomorrow morning. They will be back a week later. Tim and I are home together that week.
And the day at my friend's was lovely, I only ruined a bit of the fun by forgetting to take my morning meds. It was a bit of a struggle. But great company and we had a lot of fun together.

3:29 am

sprite

thanks girls. Then that's what I am gonna cook today.

3:30 am

Lizlin

On the next flight!

3:30 am

sprite

Good! I'll save you both a seat. Will make sure I have some paper plates and stuff.

3:35 am

Sprite, do you have that hy 7? If so, can you or rose clue it pls.

3:35 am

Lizlin

Lolol

3:36 am

sprite

first 4 of the laughing carrion eater, Liz, and end with the robot ending

3:36 am

Lizlin

And that was my cue to find it!

3:37 am

sprite

wtg!

3:37 am

Lizlin

Thanks

3:37 am

sprite

asking is finding... lol I always wonder what that says about the way our minds work.

3:38 am

Lizlin

Doing a peri, in other words!

3:39 am

exactly!

3:40 am

Lizlin

Just sent you both a photo

Angelsong

hi, all one of our elder cats is having a biopsy today. Hoping for no malignancy. She had surgery nearly 3 years ago for mammary cancer and now has another area that needs to be checked.

4:54 am

grannyrose

hi angel. would you like prayer for puss, or if not that some healing vibes?

4:55 am

Angelsong

prayer is most welcome.

4:56 am

grannyrose

np's. what is puss's name?

4:57 am

Angelsong

her name is Duchess. She will be 13 in mid-September, along with her sister, Darla.

4:58 am

grannyrose

okay, dear. consider the prayer said. xoxox

4:59 am

Angelsong

thank you most kindly.

5:02 am

Angelsong

these cats are our babies.

5:02 am

grannyrose

angel would you be so kind to email me and let me know the result, please?

5:03 am

Angelsong

sure, grannyrose

5:05 am

grannyrose

thank-you dear. i know how it feels when one of our pets become unwell or have the health threatened. my heart also goes out to you and yours too.

5:07 am

Angelsong

when we adopted our four girls, Duchess, Darla, DeeDee and Dixi, we did so for their lifetimes, not just if it is convenient.

5:09 am

Angelsong

they go to the vet regularly, too, and they are indoors only.

5:10 am

grannyrose

i bet they are gorgeous. are they a particular breed?

5:11 am

Angelsong

all four of them are American shorthairs, and all four are black. I have to check their collars to tell them apart.

5:12 am

Angelsong

my neighbor says they look "like movie cats"...

5:13 am

grannyrose

lol.... talk about making it hard for yourself. we had two tortoiseshell, a black tonkinese with blue eyes, and a grey and white moggy who was the boss of them all.

5:14 am

mattygroves

I hope your cat is ok and the biopsy comes up clear.

5:15 am

grannyrose

hello dear matty

5:15 am

mattygroves

I have one word left - qu5 - can you guys give me a hint?

5:15 am

Angelsong

I'm not sure which of these girls is Alpha....but Darla was the smallest of the litter. She is hard-wired to eat. She steals my spinach if I don't watch her.

5:15 am

grannyrose

stand in line, matty

5:15 am

mattygroves

Oh dear god, I feel stupid

5:16 am

mattygroves

I tried quemp. Quems. Quend. And various other nonsense words

5:16 am

Good morning

5:29 am

Finally have my next read lined up. I was between reads, and when that happens I generally pick a classic, so I have been plodding through The Invisible Man. My next main read looks interesting, however. It is entitled Mr Mercedes, and I look forward to it... Howdy Sukee.

5:29 am

I am so much happier since I lost my job almost 3 years ago now.

5:41 am

That is like my dining room table, paper just appears there...

5:42 am

Marc Freeman

Could I get a clue for ph6/27, please?

5:43 am

I gave up on my desk years ago. i go with ray Bradbury's theory in that what gravitates and takes up residence on your desk becomes your muse and inspiration for your novels.

Good morning kids.

Well, I have to get going. Also have to go apply for my new health card again since the last one was lost in the mail.

6:06 am

Scrabbler

Phew, I greyed out the Q.

6:14 am

crosshair

Ugh. I must also get a new heath card for both myself and my son:/ at least they are totally free now and can be had at any licencing office. No more driving to the city to get one:)

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Hi Crossy

6:15 am

crosshair

Howdy, scrabby:)

6:16 am

Scrabbler

Usually I have Fridays off but I am working all day today.

6:17 am

crosshair

I remember the horrors of the old O.H.I.P syste, those little brown cards that cost on average 300 a month plus and hug my new universal heath care card whenever I renew it:)

6:17 am

crosshair

Filling in for another doc, scrabby?

6:18 am

Scrabbler

I wish the US could develop an effective, affordable health care system, but health care and the government are out of control and beyond repair, I am afraid.

6:18 am

Scrabbler

Yes, some people are off so me and another doc will man the office all day.

6:19 am

crosshair

Well, ours is not perfect by any means; we just all pay at tax time, each and every one of use. no matter if we use it in a given year or not. It works out, since we all need health care. it should not be optional like insuring your house against a flood

6:19 am

tuco

add the insurance agencies in that mix Scrabbler and their lobby

6:19 am

tuco

agreed crosshair!!!

6:20 am

crosshair

Insurance companies are dangerous enough with insuring our cars!!

6:20 am

Scrabbler

Yes, tuco, the insurance companies now are the bosses in health care. Doc's choices are dictated by the insurance companies--meds, tests, etc.

6:20 am

tuco

I think the U.S. is the only country in the world where the #1 cause of personal bankruptcy is getting sick.

6:20 am

crosshair

everyone from the poorest hobo who has been on the street for ten years right up the our wealthiest billionare is entitled to the very same health care card

6:22 am

Scrabbler

At 77/77 I must get ready for the work day. Bye kids. Enjoy the day!

6:22 am

tuco

hehe Don't get me started. I know the U.S. health care system too well. As a patient. Yes I have had some great care but I had to travel to a larger city and wait for it.

6:23 am

crosshair

Take care, scrabby

6:23 am

crosshair

Our best hospitals are also in the city(Toronto), tuco

6:24 am

crosshair

2.5 hour drive south for me:(

6:24 am

tuco

one of the propaganda points used here is to tell people that we have better health care than anywhere else in the world. They point to waiting lines etc. I know that is all bull crap

6:25 am

tuco

If you have enough money here the waiting lines disappear and you probably own a home or can afford to stay in luxury in a large city.

6:26 am

crosshair

You CAN have better health care than anywhere in the world.. you just have to pay for it up fron each and every time. We just pay through the nose at tax time. that way everyone is covered, even if they have nop job, because, in the end, dead people do not pay taxes;)

6:27 am

tuco

Amen! It is a sorry state of affairs here. We have lost the whole idea of The Commons. Hopefully Bernie Sanders can remind people how we used to work together as a people instead of blaming the poor and disadvantaged.

6:27 am

crosshair

Like you say, the line disapears for some. We get that was well, but to a lesser extent. Siome get addition insurance like Blue cross etc, and suppliment the normal care that the card provides

6:29 am

tuco

Which is fair. I like Germany's model. The insurance companies have to provide a level of service and are highly regulated. They compete by holding down their costs and salaries not by cutting care.

6:29 am

crosshair

Once the powers that be get it into their head that EVERYONE needs health care and gets rid of the "why should I pay for him with my taxes" attitude, things will progress

6:29 am

tuco

well there are "some" in this country that believe that health care is not a right but a commodity.

6:30 am

crosshair

Once again I come back to my point that dead people pay very little tax:)

6:31 am

tuco

yep. instead they profit off the sick. Yes it is expensive to become a doctor but whose taxes paid for the educational system they were trained in?

6:31 am

crosshair

I am sure scrabby and her colleagues are very tired of doing the insurance company dance every-time they need to bill a patient

6:31 am

crosshair

brb

6:32 am

tuco

haha. They should speak up and stand with the people. But they are getting paid and dont want to rock the boat. Not speaking specifically about scrabby here of course.

6:32 am

crosshair

back

6:33 am

crosshair

it must be very difficult for the doctors

6:33 am

tuco

well enough of me venting. After all I am a member of the IWW and my views are not shared by the majority of my fellow citizens.

6:34 am

crosshair

Iww?

6:34 am

tuco

Industrial Workers of the World.

6:34 am

crosshair

it is easy to say tow the line and change nothing when you can afford the insurance premiums.

6:36 am

tuco

Or when you believe the propaganda that it is all the fault of the poor. While the CEOs of the insurance companies are richer than God and the Governor of Florida was the CEO of the health care company that paid the highest medicade fraud fine of all time.

6:37 am

tuco

see I told you. dont get me started. :-)

6:37 am

crosshair

lol

6:38 am

tuco

I am not happy with our President since he refused to say Genocide last week, but thank God for him and Nancy Pelosi. At least the Affordable Care Act is a start.

6:39 am

crosshair

Blaming the poor is "Why should I pay for him with my taxes" all over again. Why not just grind up anyone who makes less that 25k/year and turn them into a food suppliment? lol

6:39 am

tuco

Soylent Green is people!!!!!!

6:40 am

crosshair

He has started you on the road to real health care. The AVA is basically a rough version of what our old O.H.I.P system once was

6:40 am

tuco

Then they wouldn't have anyone to blame. Oh wait. They would just raise the limit to 50K/year

6:40 am

crosshair

ACA*

6:41 am

Trif...is a quick puppy play date OK today? Anybody home?

7:30 am

car.eeyore

Oh, Molly! Don't get me started! LOL!

7:30 am

Trifioso

no one should be home, for the love of god, tell me if someone is!

7:31 am

Trifioso

and yes, puppy play dates are ALWAYS welcome!

7:31 am

MollyL

Party at Trif's house!!!

7:31 am

car.eeyore

Well if someone is home, I feel awkward

7:31 am

Trifioso

that's not as funny as you think, molly

7:31 am

car.eeyore

No time for a party...Avengers this morning!

7:31 am

Trifioso

if by someone you mean valentine, hes in Braintree, as he should be

7:32 am

MollyL

Yes Trif, is she still on probation?

7:32 am

Trifioso

no, but if car catches her home when she should be at school, I'm breaking out the irons

7:33 am

car.eeyore

She will have to deal with me first. I told some of the Scouts last night to keep an eye on her at prom.

7:33 am

car.eeyore

I said if there is a problem to call me and then you.

7:33 am

Trifioso

the good thing about car is that she is every bit as much of a mother to my girls as I am, and they take her corrections just as if they came from me.

7:33 am

MollyL

Dear God, you would think The Wrath Of The Sisters would keep her in line.

7:33 am

Trifioso

case in point, thank you car....

7:33 am

car.eeyore

You would think...

7:33 am

Trifioso

you would think that molly, but tertiare is a FIERCE one.

7:34 am

car.eeyore

The force is strong in that one...

7:34 am

Trifioso

mind you - secondo is more than enjoying her time at school, apparently - she sent me a photo of herself participating in the "Naked Mile Run", an annual UVM tradition

7:34 am

MollyL

Trif, I think you should start running the track at her school in your green sneakers again.

7:34 am

car.eeyore

But...I have done most of what she is pulling and more, so....she can't get much by me.

7:35 am

car.eeyore

tee hee...I will get pink ones and we can walk together....

7:36 am

Trifioso

I cant win at that one. I had to pick her up the other day, but didn't have time to go all the way home first. Figured I would drive to the school early, wait in the parking lot, and get some work done. So much for sneaking - drive in JUST as tertiare was running out the drive, leading the track team. She was all, "mom?"

7:37 am

car.eeyore

I need stats for the i in the fourth column please?

7:45 am

HarryHood

got it! ty car :) nbt

7:45 am

Buggie

you should see the french translation of that. When Steven comes out, in french it got changed to "I'm ill" rather than "I'm gay"

7:45 am

HarryHood

got that too trif! ty!

7:46 am

Trifioso

oh dear buggie - really?

7:46 am

car.eeyore

Oh my god! No?!??!?!

7:46 am

Trifioso

I saw the lion king in French with two of my kids, back in the day - that was a trip.

7:46 am

Buggie

and his adorable sister who's the only one who will say the words "Steven's gay" becomes this bitch who turns on him and says "Steven's ill"

7:47 am

Trifioso

how does that even work, buggie? "Dad, I'm ill, and the only cure is to sleep with men!" Like the FRENCH couldn't figure that one out?

7:47 am

Buggie

At the time it was completely taboo in France

7:47 am

car.eeyore

Wow

7:47 am

Trifioso

and that may be the ONLY time someone has referred to Fallon as "adorable"

7:47 am

I like that your kindle will have to be pried from your cold, dead hands, Hego. I have totally worn out my original first gen nook reader, and now have a 2 year old nook HD. So much nicer having the touch screen instead of all those page turn buttons that wear out.

9:23 am

hego

Mine is still going strong.

9:24 am

I also have my asus transformer tablet but it is a tad heavy for long reading sessions

9:24 am
